ABOUT

IMAGES

Concealed in a particularly squalid and touristy corner of Piccadilly Circus is the bar that has kept the UK's Urban scene alive in the West End since the early 1990s. Thursday night's Movement has been the West End's biggest drum 'n' bass weekly for a full decade, and Tuesdays offer authentic reggaeton sounds straight off the plane from the barrio. The big boys come out on Friday and Saturday, and there are few major names in UK hip-hop who haven't played here, while live PAs from US stars are also a regular feature. In an area filled with cheap imitations, Bar Rumba is the genuine article.
